Seeing how both novels are dystopic settings, there are many similarities between Brave New World and 1984. Both societies seek to strip their people of their freedom, discourage individuality, and reject any elements contrary to their values. Both societies strip freedom from their peoples, BNW by flooding people’s senses with pleasure, and 1984 by threats of death and focusing the society’s attention against an external entity. Both societies also consider it bizarre to want to be alone, by keeping everyone together, individuality is extinguished. BNW rejects elements contrary to its values by sending people to live on islands while the party in 1984 simply vaporizes the disparate elements from existence. Although methods differ, both societies have the same goal, the pacification of their citizens.
